"I can't believe we're finally in EGYPT." Spike commented to Buffy,
who gave him a dirty look.
"Finally." Buffy replied with an element of relief to her voice. The
last few hours on the plane had tested her temper to the limits. "Now all we have to do is find Drusilla and Xander. Fast"
"We don't have to hurry. Drusilla will want to visit some of the better sites of EGYPT, especially if she's showing the little wanker around town. We've come all this way, you don't want to miss seeing EGYPT, DO YOU?"
"Spike, we're not here on a vacation. I came here to find my friend and get him out of the clutches of your insane girlfriend." She huffed, glaring furiously at Spike.
"You're no fun at all, Slayer." Spike cursed under his breath.

"Now, kitten, didn't Miss Edith say that EGYPT would be magnificent?"
Drusilla explained as she slowly placed her arm around Xander's waist.
"Drusilla, it's extraordinary." He was in awe of how beautiful the sand
looked under the stars.
"We knew you'd loved it. The stars are singing us a song. Come, dance with
me." Drusilla offered her hand to him.
"I would love to dance with you." He replied, smiling attempting to hide
his contempt. He knew that if he didn't play along with Drusilla's little fantasies she'd more likely to turn on him and make him her evening meal. Besides, he might never be in Egypt again.

"Lokenrah, they have arrived. I can feel them all. They're presence, it's
dangerous." Katrina informed her master, her stomach swirling with an unpleasant feeling that caused her to be scared.
"Then we'll have to eliminate them, but not before we let them find our
treasure for us."
"Lokenrah, that's a horrible idea. What if one of them drinks the
Pharoah's Gift?"
"Sometimes you have to gamble, Katrina. This is worth the risk. Now please
tell me where they are."
Katrina paused for a moment. Her eyes closing, her mind delving into the
depths, reaching out her senses towards the strangers that caused fear to surge through her body. Her eyes finally opened, her voice was quiet as she replied to her master. "One is by the sea. The other is the town of Pasknah."
